Miscarriage, when to start trying?? :'(

Hi guys, I just recently had a miscarriage at 6 weeks last week. I just turned 20 and this was my first pregnancy :'( It really did hurt a lot at the fact that I lost my baby, even though I was so early on its really tough to get over it. I went to the ER when I was miscarriag-ing I guess, and when I was leaving they gave me some papers to read over talking about miscarriage. On the paper it said that I shouldn't have intercourse for 3 weeks, but I really want to ttc like as soon as possible. How early did any of you try, if you've had a miscarriage too? I don't want To miss ovulation, but I don't want to lose a baby again either. I don't know what to do! Advise, please!

I miscarried on oct 9th. Although it was unplanned I had adjusted to the idea of it all and wanted to try for a baby. Nov 10th I had positive pregnancy and I'm 7 weeks today! You are very fertile after miscarriage. Typically around 2 weeks after miscarriage date is the most fertile time. Good luck to you!

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I am 27 and since my 1st pregnancy at 17, I miscarried 8 times, with none of them going past 8 weeks...it was due to my septated uterus (which is now repaired, Thank the Lord above)...I'm going in for an apt. This month to see if I am cleared to ttc..my surgery was sept. 7th and they want you to wait 2 to 3 mos. To ttc...but I am letting you know about ttc after a m/c. If u have a d&c, you should wait at least until you have a period or maybe even a little longer( your doc will tell you this) b/c even though you are more fertile after a m/c, during a d&c they scrape everything out...so if you get pregnant, the egg will have nothing to attach to and you will more than likely m/c again...so my advice is to go at it naturally (as long as your body does expell the embryo) because when you do it naturally it is better on your uterus and you can try earlier..I want to tell you though, I think you need some time to heal mentally. Often times when we lose a baby, we want to get right back on the horse again and try immediately, trying to replace the baby we lost...so please take some time to heal, both mentally and physically...I mean, what if you were to get pregnant again right away and lose that baby? Could you handle tha emotionaly? It is EXTREMELY difficult to lose a baby let alone multiple ones and especially close together...I lost a baby not this past sept. But the one before, then got pegnant dec. 31st, lost the baby 8 wks. Later and then got pregnant in thebeg. Of March (even though we were taking all precautions, b/c we found out a/b my condition, and I wanted to have the surgery done) I found out I was 6w3d pregnant via an ultrasound (the first I ever had where the baby was alive, saw the heart beating and everything!) When I went for my first real apt., b/c the other was just to confirm I was actually pregnant and that it wasn't leftover hormones from the last m/c, I found out I had m/c. The doc said I was only measuring 7w4d...but I should have been almost 10weeks..and I do not believe I was carrying a dead baby for 3 weeks, b/c all my other m/c, I miscarried right away...anyway I know I am rambling, but please don't rush into ttc too early...just bc u r more fertile then...it doesn't mean that is the best time....take care and I wish u the best! U r a young woman, you still have plenty of time to make babies..I know that doesn't ease your pain, as it didn't mine..but it's the truth..maybe this was God's way of saying it isn't time yet...that's what I believe he was saying to me, until I found out my problem and was blessed in February with a fantastic doc that got my insurance to cver my surgery, which a lot of insurances don't do, bc it is a fertility matter...my last doc wouldn't even order an mri for me to see if it was a septate(which I had and can be fixed) or a bicornuate(which can't be fixed)...n I was with the wrong guy then..then when I found my soulmate, all the pieces came together. Again, sorry for your loss! I will pray for you

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. I too miscarried on my first pregnancy around 7 weeks. I was incredibly hard to get over so my thoughts and preyers go out to you. My Dr. advised me that I wasn't to try conceiving again for 3 months after the miscarriage so that my body could have time to heal itself. Believe me it wasn't what I wanted to hear either cause I wanted to try conceiving right away too. I would see what your Dr. advises. Good luck and again I am sorry for your loss. Best of luck to you.

So sorry you are having to go through this. I had a miscarriage back in June and it was the worst feeling in my entire life! I felt so empty and hopefulness but after much grieving we almost immediately started to try again and now I am 18 weeks pregnant! You never think something like that can happen to you and when it does its hard... My thoughts and prayers are with you :)

Give yourself some time to heal both physically and emotionally. This is so tough on us, again both physically and emotionally. There is a risk of infection when your cervix is open to allow passage of the tissue, so that is why they advise not to have sex for 3 weeks. Your body will rebuild the uterine lining so a baby will have a good place to grow. I just had a miscarriage at 6 weeks too, I know how that feels. My doctor said wait 3 or 4 months, but if we get pregnant at 2 months out it's not a crisis.

I had a miscarriage in April it was unplanned. I went to the ER but I was spotting for a couple of days and they told me i was pregnant and having a miscarriage. In July I missed my period and found out I was pregnant! Now I'm 28 weeks. Just make sure you're healthy and everything is working properly before trying again. Good luck :)

I'm in Australia and my GP said there's no proven reason to wait if you are emotionally ready (unless you haven't had a d&c then wait one cycle). We mc in August and started trying as soon as the bleeding stopped and I'm now 16w :)
